Choosing Four Themes to Build an Argument Essay
Choosing Four Themes to Build an Argument EssayOne of the basic skills of argument writing is being able to develop 'definitional' arguments. How to build a good argument from basic to deep in a short amount of time. There are four main topics, you need to think about to make a strong and detailed argument.First you have to make a basic thesis and then see how to make a deep argument based on that thesis. So the basic thesis is that ... OK, not really a 'straw man' example, but any article that addresses the topic of knowledge in a comprehensive and original way will have to address the following four topics. a. Knowledge. b. Culture.Now culture and power are not just an abstract concept. It involves how people interact with the knowledge that is involved. So first you need to state a theme. You don't have to make a totally original essay with the help of a research assistant, but you need to draw the reader's attention to something that they can relate to or which is relevant to tha t theme.Second you have to deal with knowledge. By doing this you are making sure that you know what you are talking about. You are drawing the reader into the topic. This is essential when it comes to argument writing and making you write with your audience in mind.You must also deal with power. This comes in two parts. You must first analyze how you do have the power and then how to use that power. This is where the third topic of cultural relations comes in.And third you have to deal with culture. If your argument is really deep, you should definitely have to deal with the cultural aspects of the thing being argued about. There is a lot more to the topic of knowledge, culture and power. Think about this and you will see why you have to have a good connection to all four.Finally you have to deal with power, knowledge and culture and you have to be able to deal with these important parts of your argument. Now these four topics are the essentials for argument writing and they are th e basis for the body of the argument. And you are left with just the meat of the argument - what you are to say to the reader.
